Slamboree

Slamboree was a professional wrestlingpay-per-view event from World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held from 1993 through 2000. It was held in the month of May. It was originally billed as "A Legends' Reunion" because many retired legends from Jim Crockett Promotions attended the PPV and other events scheduled for that weekend. The first three Slamborees saw inductions into the WCW Hall of Fame during the PPV. They also included matches with the legends participating. The rights of Slamboree are now owned by WWE since it bought WCW's related assets in 2001.

Slamboree 1996 took place on May 19, 1996 from the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Every non-title match was a Lethal Lottery match with wrestlers being randomly paired together, and the winning teams would advance to the Battlebowl battle royal.

The match was originally supposed to be a gauntlet match where Goldberg was supposed to take on each member of The Flock, where if Goldberg lost to any of the Flock members Raven would regain the United States Championship Goldberg had taken from him. That changed the night of the show.

Randy Savage interfered in the match to assist Page, assaulting Nash and hitting him with the title belt.

Eric Bischoff came to the ring after Savage interfered, ordered Doug Dillinger to escort Savage out of the building, and then told referee Nick Patrick to restart the match as a no-disqualification match.
